He moved to Palma de Mallorca in 1709 to paint the communion chapel at the and married a woman who said she was a widow of someone who had been taken captive in Algiers, which nullified their marriage. When the husband appeared, he had to return to Valencia, and served as a soldier along the way, although he continued to paint. Once again, he was offered marriage by a woman who said her husband had died in Sicily, but this time he was more cautious. He finally married María Teresa Llacer, a young woman who survived him by fifty years.

After that marriage, he settled permanently in Valencia, dedicating himself to painting and teaching, for which he maintained a private drawing school at his home.Ceán Bermúdez, Juan Agustín, Diccionario histórico de los más ilustres profesores de la Bellas Artes en España, Madrid, 1800, Vol.2, Online The well known artists who took classes at his school include Ignacio Vergara, and Cristóbal Valero.
